The album received high acclaim. “The Wild Call… kept me ‘til the end!”, Bobby Broom, 2007. Their debut continues to receive local and international radio play. With the release of their first album, the AKQ has been able to establish a solid fan base, which has given the group the opportunity of playing a variety of Chicago’s finest venues and music festivals.

“Thanks for buying our CD. We recorded most of it in one day, Aug. 28th, 2006, the bassist’s b-day and the same day I was leaving Chicago for 5 months. That day in the studio was something real special for us because of the deep musical connections and chemistry. I have been writing music for a long time and have always dreamt of putting out a CD of my original compositions. Enjoy.” – Aaron Koppel

The Aaron Koppel Quartet is a unique bop driven force that can only be described as what it is: another new exit off the highway of jazz. Founded by Aaron Koppel in 2002, the Aaron Koppel Quartet is made up of Chicago natives: guitarist Aaron Koppel, pianist Matt Nelson, Robert Tucker, and bassist Graham Czach. Their debut album released in 2007 "The Wild Call of the Multitasker" received a lot of attention in Chicago, being featured on WXRT's Jazz Transfusion, Chicago's 93.1 FM, XM radio's Beyond Jazz, New Mexico's KSFR 101.1 FM Santa Fe Public Radio, WDCB 90.9 FM College of DuPage Public Radio, PBS 106.7 FM Melbourne, Australia, and several internet radio sites. With the addition of Geof Bradfield (tenor), Greg Ward (alto) and Johanna Mahmud (trombone) the Aaron Koppel Quartet received two nominations for the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards, Best International Jazz Group and Best International Jazz Song with Koppel's arrangement of Radiohead's "Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury, Executioner)."
